Just an FYI guys that there's a rumor in the office today that Pete Kendall is heading to the Redskins today for a 5th round pick.

When I get some word either way, I'll let you know

If this is true, he's unhappy in NY I do believe. A quality guard would be a welcome addition to the team. Could possibly fill a hole for us.

I would love that. This would be a trade that the Redskins I think would have stole him from them.

We must keep every single draft pick for next season!

Ok, J/K, I think this would be a great move for us. I don't trust Wade to fill the LG position at all.

SS has some pretty good connections and honestly I'd be all for it. Didn't we get a 5th for Arch? Or was it a 6th?

We got a 6th for Arch. And TMC when did your name change from DefAcator to DefEcator

I'd take that. It would definitely shore up the LG issue.

I like the move as long as it is only a 5th rounder. We got a sith for Arch and used it on HB Blades.

Good move.

Can't wait to see if it happens.

What I don't want us to do is give him a big contract. 2 years or whatever of Kendall is a good price for a 4th round pick.

Re: THIS IS ONLY A RUMOR: KENDALL to the Redskins

the sixth we got for arch we used on Jordan Palmer. Our original sixth we got HB blades.

GTRipp that hs to be the shorest post in your history. LOL[IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif[/IMG]

But this move would give us unbelivable depth on our O-line and it would allow Wade to go back to Tackle until Samuels is back to 100 percent.

KENDALL SENT TO 'SKINS

A league source tells us that the Jets have sent guard Pete Kendall to the Washington Redskins. It is believed that Washington sent a fourth-round pick to the Jets in exchange.

Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News reported on Thursday that a deal to an unnamed team was close. Our source says that a deal to D.C. is done.

Cimini also reports that Kendall will get, in his new NFL city, the $1 million raise that he craved for the coming year, pushing his salary from $1.7 million to $2.7 million.

It had become increasingly clear that a divorce was needed. Cimini devoted a recent item to Kendall's history of using painkillers to allow himself to play. Though Kendall stopped short of saying that he wouldn't continue to use medications in order to be able to suit up and perform, a source with knowledge of the situation made it clear to us that Kendall would not be using any pain medication if the team didn't adjust his contract.

The root of the problem, as we understand it, is that when Kendall restructured his deal in 2006 at the team's request, the team verbally promised to re-adjust the deal if he performed well. Kendall's perspective was that he fulfilled his end of it, and then the Jets reneged on a commitment that necessarily was unenforceable.

Kendal and the team traded barbs in training camp, with Kendall being relegated to the second team and assigned initially to the rookie dorm. Kendall loudly complained, piping down only when it seemed that the organization was getting ready to suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team.

Last week, the Jets had him play center in a preseason game, a position that he strongly dislikes. There were suspicions that two bad snaps in the game were influenced, consciously or otherwise, by Kendall's unhappiness.

[quote=12thMan;342983]Who has the 411 on Kendall....don't know much.[/quote]Well, last year the Jets had [URL="http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol.php"]great success[/URL] running between both Guard/Tackle holes, but pretty limited success running on either side of the center.

So that doesn't tell you much. I guess it suggests that Kendall is not a weak link in the running game, but isn't a great strength either.
